Wanna Be Your Joe
Billy Ray Cyrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Joe works at the steel mill
Works damn near every day
Leaves for work when the sun comes up
Drops the kids at school along the way
(Kids at school along the way.)

When the night is falling
He gets home and hugs his wife
He says how much he missed her
And that he loves her more than life, yeah.
More than life.

Joe may never be a rich man
No lawyer, or movie star
He may not own the finest jewerly
And he may not drive the nicest car.

Joe has everything he dreamed of
All the treasures that he needs
No wonder Joe's always smiling
He only aims to please, yeah.

Let me be your Joe
I just wanna love you
And watch our babies grow
I may not be no millionaire
But I want you to know
I wanna be your Joe.

You are just a woman and I am just a man
Though I may not feel every need
I hope you understand.

I wanna be your Joe
I wanna be your Joe
Let me be your Joe
I just wanna love you
And watch our babies grow
I may not be no millionaire
But I want you to know
I wanna be your Joe
Let me be your Joe.

I just wanna love you
I just wanna be your man
I just wanna hold you
Love you with all that I am
I wanna be your Joe
Let me be your Joe.





I wanna be your Joe...
